If there's one thing I've learned doing this it's that the best movies don't necessarily get the most attention. More often than not they get hardly any at all. Given Hollywood's fondness for blockbusters and sequels, many solid films only get a cursory theatrical release before being swallowed up and forgotten. It's sad, but that is why giving some rub to those movies you might have missed is, I think, one of the best services we provide here on a regular basis.

There simply is no way to see everything that's out there. Hundreds of movies come out each year and many slip between the cracks. 2015 was absolutely stacked with quality movies that fell under the radar, so many that I expanded the list to twenty and still had some left over. The toughest part is deciding what has truly been overlooked, so I tried to stick with films that didn't get a ton of buzz and certainly didn't make waves at the box office. But of course, it's all subjective depending on where you live and how deeply immersed in this stuff you are. I also decided to leave out anything that turned up on my Best of 2015 list because isn't my acknowledgement of their greatness ample recognition? Just kidding.

Anyway, here's my list of Best Overlooked Movies of 2015, and please be sure to follow all of our end of the year coverage here!
